Official thread for The Bachelor

[3princesses4us]

I really liked Susan until tonight! I can not believe both of her parents doubt her intentions!! Not a very good character reference in my opinion!! And then when she said = I hope I don't get cut this week - it really sounded like an acting call back to me!!

I said those exact words to DH last night! This isn't an audition for a job lady! She came across VERY badly last night.
We love Sarah from Tennessee. It was good to finally see them smooching a little last night. DH says no way will he pick her- she's too nice, but I remind him our favorite last year (another sweet girl named Sarah!) won the heart of the Bachelor and they're still together!
Moana came across as a spoiled little rich girl to me. She creeps me out somehow... Go Tennessee!

I haven't been watching, but caught about 45 minutes last night. I'm not getting how people don't see chemistry between the bachelor and Sara TN. I noticed how they were both grinning when they were kissing and THAT to me says chemistry.

Maybe it's already been said here, but I noticed that someone said those that were still together were going to be on the show. Does anyone know what happened to Meredith and her guy? They weren't listed, but I don't remember any public announcement of a breakup.

They announced the split awhile ago I believe in US weekly. I remember reading it!

I wonder if Susan had doubts about her engagement, and then officially broke it off after getting on the Bachelor because she saw it as a good springboard to her career. When she and her mother were speaking, it sounded like the breakoff of the engagement didn't really have closure, as if it happened quickly.

Meredith and Ian broke up a year ago.

I've only been watching some of the shows, but I did see all of last night's show. I was surprised to hear that Sarah from TN and Travis hadn't kissed yet. That says to me that there isn't much of an initial chemistry with them. I did see them both grinning when they finally kissed. When he was watching their videos before the rose ceremony, it looked to me like he was trying to suppress a big grin when they showed her. I'm interested to see how the next few episodes will play out.

Are Byron and Mary still together? Did they ever marry?

 

[piglet too]

Last I heard they were supposed to get married this year. Are they, and Trista and Ryan, the only couples to have made it?

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

I think Charlie and...is it Sarah?...are still together.

 

[MinnieM3]

Susan was my favorite until last night. Came across too fakey!

Moana....I don't know HOW she made it this far. Looney Tunes

Sara...what's not to love? Hope the chemistry betweenthem will heat up!

 

[lilostitch]

I never liked camping girl until last night. I actually liked her last night, but still felt she was too young for Travis.

I no longer like Susan, and I found it hilarious when her parents threw her "under the bus" and got Travis questioning her intentions.

I LOVE Sarah TN! I do not agree with people who say they have no chemistry. He even said last night that there is chemistry between them. I wonder if after the cameras left his house, she snuck back later to continue the date with some privacy

Moana, I was on your side until last night. That girl needs to work out some issues.

 

[First-timer]

i agree ...... i like sarah from TN. i hope she makes it all the way... they would make a cute couple....... only im not to sure she is interrested about moving away from her hometown.... vicki

 

[dzneelvr]

As far as Moana goes, Travis said it all: ....there's a mystery about her...and for a doctor and straight-laced guy like T who's spent the better part of the past 10 years just getting through his schooling, she's looking pretty good. Sara from TN is so BORING. I just can't get that attraction at all. And how come he didn't pick up on any of the parent's feedback on Susan? They pretty much served her up on the BarBQ for Travis and he didn't blink an eye. I think she's trouble just cookin' up anything to get publicity she can use later.it is one of the better Bachelors in some time, though.

I'm posting without reading the messages since the last time I was on this thread. I just finished watching it and...

Moana - Man, was her family tough! I can see why she's the way she is! If I were raised with a dad whose every answer was, "Hmm Mmm", I'd be cautious too! He, and his wife were jerks. Why wasn't Moana's mother speaking? Because she wasn't allowed to? I have to admit, she's growing on me and goodness is she gorgeous! She just gets prettier and prettier.

Sara Pot Voice - I have to admit as much as she got on my nerves, I felt sorry for her. I do think she and Sarah TN. were the most natural of the bunch. She made a mistake by trying to gossip. Behavior that fit her age - it was her downfall.

Sarah TN - I seriously think he'll end up with her by default. Do I think they have amazing chemistry? No. Do I think she's the best of what's left - for him? Yes. I don't know the spoiler and I don't want to know the spoiler, but I think she'll be the winner. She's not who'd I'd want to place money on, because I don't necessarily think she's the best "fit" with Travis, but sheesh, who else?

Susan - Oh, boy. When your own parents don't believe in you... well, 'nuff said.

Okay, I'm off to read the responses since last night...

Also, Am_I_There_Yet:
Have you ever watched 'The Soup' on VH1? They have a reality show clip segment every week and each week they add noises to their reel of sounds that Sara Canada makes. It's so funny to hear all her pot noises, squeals, sqeaks, and moans put together into a montage

Oh, man! I had no idea!

I would have loved to have seen that! It just confirms that I'm not nuts! Others thought she sounded strange too!

 

[Am_I_There_Yet]

Well - Let's hope editing plays into this. I had such high hopes for Susan but after last night I don't think it would last either - unless we aren't seeing something. He seems the most into her. He even went back to the hotel w/ her after the date.

Sara TN would be the best pick but I see NO chemistry at all. She'd make good wife material. I just think he's not into her.

Moana - run - enough said - I think he's sacared to cut her.

My guess is it's going to be Susan but not sure how that will work out.

Speaking of editing...

During the preview before the commercials, they showed Sarah Tn.'s eyes bugging out when he said he was wanting to move. When the actual sequence took place, that didn't happen.

Methinks someone is trying to "plant" ideas in our heads.

Some fun reading...

(DH is out of town, and I can't sleep and I'm bored. LOL)

 

[lillygator]

very interesting!

 

[rigs32]

I don't understand why Sarah TN would think he'd want to stay in Nashville forever. He is there for *residency*. While not technically school, he didn't have complete control over where he ended up (unless he was at the top of his class). I don't believe he's from there originally, so why would he intend to remain in the city where he got his first job forever? He's probably relocated several times for school already.

I agree, she is boooring. If he's looking for a wife, she'd be perfect.

If he's looking for a partner to be engaging and interesting, it's all about Moana. If Travis is willing to move around, it's not like they'd have to see her family all the time. A lot of people get together and not like their in-laws. It doesn't have to be a deal breaker. I think she's been edited to be the "villian" this season, which makes me think she is one of the final two.

 

[Feralpeg]

During the spoilers for next week, they show Sarah TN receiving an envelop with a card saying that she can spend the night with him. Believe me, I'm not a prude, but I do have a problem with that. First of all, if the girl says no, does that put her at a disadvantage? It just seems gross to me. Sleep with a different girl each night and try them out? I know this is television, but it makes the girls seem like pieces of meat. I hope they turn it down, especially Sarah. She is an elementary school teacher. Whether they should or not, parents at her school might judge her based on her decision.

What do you think?

 

[Shugardrawers]

I don't remember which but one of the recent bachelors had a girl turn him down for the fantasy suite. She was eliminated the next rose ceremony and blamed it on that. I think she made the right decision. I sure don't want to sleep with a guy that may be sleeping with 2 other women over the next few days. EEEEEEWWWWW!!
